Two of them were made after this article came out (he mentions four movies being made. Star Trek IV came out in 1986, TNG premiered in 1987). So Star Trek V 😬 and Star Trek VI 👍 were yet to be made.

That one actually isn’t a mistake. His last name was spelled “Ryker” when they were developing the show.

Zndl points out correctly that the trick is to not update the watch past watchOS 8. I would hope the watch series 7 would still ship with watchOS 8.

The most recent watch that maxes out at watchOS 8 is the series 3 but that one is pretty underpowered, so I’d have a hard time recommending it.

Looks like you’re right. For the fine print to be right, Apple Watch Series 7 would have to ship with watchOS 8. Do you think they’re still shipping like that? What a weird dilemma.

It looks like anything from Series 7 down will work with your wife's SE with iOS 15.

The small print from the Apple Watch Series 7:

Apple Watch Series 7 requires an iPhone 6s or later with iOS 15 or later.

iPhone SE was released after the iPhone 6s and can take iOS 15 so you should be good

It’s quite cool.

I totally understand your desire for a community that allows you to discuss classic trek without worrying that your enjoyment of new series will be lessened if you read spoilers. Reddit has a big enough user base to have separate subreddits for each series. Lemmy’s not there yet.

think there is a way to make any forum spoiler-avoidable, especially where very current episodes are at play. Sensible titles (e.g., including the episode discussed) would go a long way toward helping with this.

Lemmy also ostensibly supports spoiler tags

spoilers withinBut not every client supports them. Hopefully as clients improve, support will be universal.

Getting people to use those where appropriate might also help.

I look forward to seeing how this and other trek communities develop, and I hope that your experience improves.

I’m with you on your analysis. It wasn’t mindblowingly good, but it was certainly good enough to not feel like a band past its prime trying to cash in on one last payday. I do think that Billy West (Fry)‘s voice has aged some as well, but I got used to it after a minute or two and it was fine.

I think when you’re coming back from cancelation…AGAIN, and especially after so long, it’s not like a pilot, but it requires more exposition than a regular season opener. So it was good enough on its own merit, and I’m grading it on a curve as it’s the first episode in a decade and has to do a bit more storytelling drudgery than your average show.

Hydration is important! Other crew members should take note. (Surely the consoles are waterproof.)

Is that on the beta or just stock Ventura?

Because I’m in the Mac ecosystem, I use NetNewsWire on my devices and sync with iCloud. Before that, I used Feedly to sync. Feedly also has a web interface. I’m not sure what the best RSS apps are for Windows and Android are, though.

Here’s an article Wired did on feed readers last year. Many of them are subscription services, but some are freemium. (NetNewsWire is totally free).

One of the best changes I've made to my content consumption habits in the last couple of years has been not relying on following news-ish social media accounts for my news or going to certain websites in hopes that there have been updates, but really diving back into RSS hard. it's such a better way to get most news content.
